Short one, that is why we really like the Brit, you would be amazed at how many clubs really dont have the facilities for disabled people.

Good afternoon Jackie
General enquiry regarding Disabled facilities.
As an away supporter on the 13th of March, I need to know the following, and
if you can answer the questions it would be appreciated.
Do your away disabled supporters sit with the away fans or are they 'stuck
in a corner out of the way'
If with the away supporters is the stand we will be in fully enabled for
wheelchair users (as per Stoke City fc)
Car Park, is there specific bays for disabled supporters with badges.
Yours Sincerely
Rex Orrin

Away disabled supporters sit in the away end.
Yes there is a wheelchair area with helper seats in front.
There is provision for disabled parking for blue badge holders. Free of
Charge on the day, first come first served.

which is better than Ipswich, whose reply was along the lines of, we stick the wheelchair people down the front in the corner with the home supporters !!
Hopefully Norwich will have a similar reply to Reading
